Double Breasted

The double breasted suit is making a comeback!
The shape of the double breasted suit is a powerful one, drawing the eye to the upper body at the opening of the lapels, and away from the midsection. However keeping in line with recent trends, the modern double breasted jacket is shorter and slimmer.

We cut the jacket just slightly shorter than a regular jacket due to its big presence, but make up for it by recommending peak lapels up top. If you’re slim, we also recommend trying slim notch lapels to keep a streamlined appearance. If you’re larger, anything goes as this is a great suit for larger builds.

Wear It Well

Standard convention with a double breasted suit jacket is that you leave the last button on the bottom undone. Of course if it’s a windy fall day and it’s all you’re wearing, button it up! Unlike a regular single breasted jacket, we don’t recommend leaving the jacket hang open, always keep it buttoned up!
